"Overexposure can lead to blindness, kidney failure, hearing loss and probably cancer. Around 350 B.C. Hippocrates recognized a link between smelting lead and abdominal colic. In 1767, George Baker linked Devonshire colic to cider that had been contaminated by storage in lead containers. In the 1890s, childhood lead poisoning was recognized and linked to lead-based paint by studies in Australia."

Find a better way, lead already has screwed up the world enough.
You have to go to the drags quite often to get exposed to enough lead to make a difference .
